What wine is it:
Crnko (Silvo Crnko) 2011 Jarenincan
What I ate with it:
brown rice with furikake (a Japanese seaweed condiment) and seared yellowtail tuna
How much is it:
$10.99 for a liter bottle
Where to shop for it:
Wine Exchange (this is the only place I could find it for sale so I apologize if I get your hopes up and you can't find it.) =P
This wine was absolutely delightful. It is a rare Czechoslovakian wine. Not a country widely known for having great wine but they are certainly working up to it if this bottle is any indication.
The nose was strongly green apple (think the smell of biting into a Granny Smith apple) but the taste was more apple with a pine-y taste also. (The hubby said it smelled like moments in his childhood when he and tree sap became inseparable.) =P It sounds like an odd combination but it actually harmonizes very well. It is like tasting the fruit and the soil it grew in at the same time. One word of caution: this wine does not sit open very well. So if you are not able to drink a liter of white wine by yourself, get some girl friends or have a dinner party or something. If it does end up sitting for too long, it starts to have more resemblance the scent of cleaning products than wine. We had a glass left over from Monday evening to Tuesday and it definitely was past its prime.
But I would definitely recommend it over all and hope you all get a chance to try it!
Have a beautiful day!
